The Nimrod Strawberry

We have received samples of this from Mr. Sanders, the intelligent gardener at Tedworth, with a request that we would state our opinion of it So far as we can judge of it, after having been packed in a post-office bag for several hours, we should say it is superior to the British Queen; it is large, oblong, or rather 'conical, with the same color as that variety, but sweeter and richer. It is said by Mr. Sanders to be an excellent bearer, and to force well; in addition to which it is reported to be much hardier than the British Queen, nearly all of which perished last winter round Tedworth, while this Nimrod suffered in no degree whatever. - London Gardener' Chronicle.

Ninon De L Endos

One of the most desirable of the light class; flowers a delicate blush white and rose with crimson centre.

Nolana Paradoxa, Var. Violacea

A variety with larger flowers, of a distinct rosy violet color. A garden variety.

The Nordman's Fir. Picea Nordmani-Ana

This is an old variety, but comparatively rare. It is of rapid growth, with rich green foliage, that attracts your attention at once. It is perfectly hardy, and should be more generally grown and planted.

North Carolina Seedling Grape

J. L. This is a hardy sort, as yet little known north of Missouri. It has a large, well-formed bunch, with large-sized black berries, of rather a harsh quality, showy, but not particularly good to eat. It ripens same time as Concord, but we do not think will prove valuable here at the East or North.

Messrs. B. K. Bliss & Son, 41 Park Row, New York, have on exhibition at their store a fine collection of cones collected by an amateur botanist from the conifersae of California. They comprise many species, and are probably the best collection ever brought to the East. Any of our readers who are interested in the giant productions of the Golden State would do well to examine this collection, many of the cones being fine cabinet specimens obtained at the cost of much time and labor.

Northern Spy

D. Miller, of Pa., had fruited it, and found it very knurly - S. Walker stated it was poor at Danvers, yet he said the first specimens he had received from Western New-York, were as good as any apples he ever tasted. S. Goodale said that in Maine some were very good, and others very poor. It was generally admitted as of high excellence, as grown in Western New.York. J. H. Watts said it gene-rally sold at Rochester for $2.50 per barrel, and some the last spring, had sold in New York city for $9.00. It was placed on the list for special localities by 22 votes.

The committee on Native Fruits reported the following as "best" among the new sorts present: Jeffries apple and Richards; Susquehannah peach; and Moyamensing, Styre, Edward's Elizabeth, and Quinnipiac pears.

Northern Spy Applb

A box of this invaluable Apple of the Spitzenburgh family, received by express on the 15th of April, in the finest order, has placed us under obligations to Mr. James H. Watts, of Rochester, N. Y., who has a special affection for this fruit, and evidently cultivates it con amort. It is a fine keeper, even to June; it is now as firm as when taken from the tree, which is a great bearer, the branches weighed down to the ground with the fruit. These are the best specimens we have ever seen, and they are pronounoed very superior. It originated near Rochester, where it seems to luxuriate. Mr. Watts may well be gratified with the results of his horticulture.
